[QUOTE="werk, post: 2151557, member: 29663"] I'd think that teleport or disintegrate, or anything that effectively removes the target from combat, allows a cleave. add three words: If you deal a creature enough damage to make it drop [b][i]out of combat [/i][/b](typically by dropping it to below 0 hit points or killing it), you get an immediate, extra melee attack against another creature within reach. You cannot take a 5-foot step before making this extra attack. The extra attack is with the same weapon and at the same bonus as the attack that dropped the previous creature. You can use this ability once per round. everyone else is adding three words: [i][b]to the ground.[/b][/i] EDIT: I found 28 definitions for drop, so a couple extra words would probably help to understand exactly what the designers mean 'make it drop'. DROP 1-9 are nouns 10[v] give birth; used for animals; "The cow dropped her calf this morning" 11[v] grow worse; "Her condition deteriorated" 12[v] stop pursuing or acting; "drop a lawsuit"; "knock it off!" 13[v] lower the pitch of (musical notes) 14[v] go down in value; "Stock prices dropped" 15[v] change from one level to another; "She dropped into army jargon" 16[v] leave undone or leave out; "How could I miss that typo?"; "The workers on the conveyor belt miss one out of ten" 17[v] utter casually; "drop a hint" 18[v] of games, in sports; "The Giants dropped 11 of their first 13" 19[v] terminate an association with; "drop him from the Republican ticket" 20[v] stop associating with; "They dropped her after she had a child out of wedlock" 21[v] cause to fall by or as if by delivering a blow; "strike down a tree"; "Lightning struck down the hikers" 22[v] leave or unload, esp. of passengers or cargo; 23[v] get rid of; "he shed his image as a pushy boss"; "shed your clothes" 24[v] to fall vertically; "the bombs are dropping on enemy targets" 25[v] let fall to the ground; "Don't drop the dishes" 26[v] fall or drop to a lower place or level; "He sank to his knees." 27[v] pay out; "spend money" 28[v] hang freely; "the ornaments dangled from the tree"; "The light dropped from the ceiling" [/QUOTE]
